the writer as fiscally responsible beast (hah): summer convention remix

[lagilman]

So, I have a room at the Inn (a distant Inn, but an Inn nontheless) for the San Diego ComicCon.

Which means I'm probably going.

Which means I have to decide which other convention within that six week period falls by the fiscal wayside: NASFiC or Necon.

I really wanted to gt back to Necon this year. I miss me my Necon. But it also happens to be the one that doesn't fall heavily to the "promote and publicize" side of the ledger, which is what this is all about.

*grump*


It sucks being an adult.

If you miss Necon again this year, you won't just be a Bad Kitty, you'll be Worst Kitty Ever!

[lagilman]

Do I get a t-shirt that goes with that?

It does sound like it should be on one, doesn't it?

Worst. Kitty. Ever.

or at least an icon...

Ha! I love it!

Growedupedness is totally overrated! Go to both!

Here's a handful of enabling ideas. (Other people will have good ones.):
- Instant ramen are cheap.
- Put one of those cheesy PayPal Donation links on your site and get your fans to subsidize the trips.
- It is a business expense, so you get to write it off.
- Sell excess body parts.

Well, as a San Diego resident, I'm happy you're coming to CCI!

Although I do hope you have at least one Thing that's not on Saturday. After the hell of just trying to get in the building last year, I'm not doing Comic-Con Saturdays for a while.

I doubt I will have many if any Things at all, being Small Fry and Not Comics or Movie-based. However I suspect Mysterious Galaxy will have some books for me to sign, and there are people to see...

so maybe I'll have a non-CCI Thing, off campus? That could be fun.... anyone know where there's a halfway decent wine or scotch bar? *grin*

Oooh, hey, off-campus works too. :D

I know bupkis about wine or scotch, alas. Hopefully somebody else local will chime in!
